You may have noticed that in the street fashion stores, more and more hangers are sports clothes that are mainly played by eco-friendly shoppers. Organic cotton, bamboo, bamboo, and even recycled plastics are being transformed into eco-conscious fashion people. Costumes. Australia's Nanollose will adopt a more environmentally friendly approach, using the coconut industry's biomass waste to produce no plant fiber, and its environmental footprint is much less compared to widely used textiles such as cotton.
The raw materials used to make most of today's textiles require large amounts of agricultural land for plant production, not to mention the heavy use of chemicals to prevent pests and processed fibers, and many precious waters. To manufacture rayon currently used in clothing and textiles Fibres, must cut down countless trees, chopped and then treated with hazardous chemicals, and to make enough cotton for a single T-shirt needs 2700 liters of water, which is enough for a person to drink for two and a half years.
Nanollose uses organic waste to produce sustainable fiber, called Nullarbor. The company says that the nanocellulose used in fiber is produced using microorganisms that convert biomass waste into cellulose. This process does not require cutting down trees or using arable land. , And it takes less than a month.
The company currently uses coconut by-products from Indonesia, which have been synthesized and converted into useful rayon fibers, provided by the company’s proprietary technology. It is said that these existing industrial resources are sufficient for production during the experimental phase of the project, but Nanollose intends to use large-scale industrial wastes at the start of full production. This process has the potential to convert large amounts of biomass waste from the beer, wine and liquid food industries into fibers with very little land required in the process. , Water or energy.
